Terri DiMatteo, LPC - Open Door Therapy, Neighbor

Open Door Therapy is a New Jersey-based private counseling practice specializing in couples and marriage therapy, affair recovery, and narcissistic abuse recovery. Founded and operated by Terri DiMatteo, MA, LPC, the practice serves clients statewide via secure telehealth.

With over 14 years in practice, Terri created The Intimacy Bond™, a clinical framework that defines romantic love as a mutual protective bond where emotional and sexual intimacy are co-equal strands. This approach departs from traditional therapy models that prioritize emotional safety before physical connection, recognizing both as essential, parallel pathways to closeness.

Services include couples counseling, marriage therapy, affair and infidelity recovery, and narcissistic abuse recovery (offered exclusively as individual therapy). The practice also offers relationship consulting for couples and individuals seeking guidance outside of clinical therapy. Terri shares insights on romantic relationships through her blog and podcast, both called LoveBonds.

She has also contributed relationship expert commentary to publications including Vogue, Newsweek, TODAY, AskMen, Princeton Perspective, Katie Couric Media, and others. Evening and weekend appointments are available. Clients can schedule directly online at opendoortherapy.net.
